sailor rode her bike down the road for our outside table's center piece tonight.

i love the smell of clean kids. i like wet hair on little boys that is neatly combed. i like fresh diapers around chubby legs.
tonight it was worth it enough to me that i did it myself.
in honor of fathers day week - now's a good time to give credit where its due & say that rex is usually the one who gives kids baths around here.
usually is even probably not even fair enough .... 99.7% of the time its him on his knees fishing through too many rubber ducks, plastic boats & seahorses to find the slippery bar of soap.
i sometimes get towels : )
oh & i clip fingernails. tonight i did 50 and 40 toes 'cause benny was wearing zippy 'jammies.
tonight at dinner ....
(this was dinner - our 1st successful pizza cooked on the bbq - the man meat is coming : )
anyway we had watermelon too & rex told the kids i used to have a horse named watermelon. which is true and they were nicely impressed. he went on to list off my former animal days career - a donkey named peppy, herbie the goat .... etc, etc.
sailor now wants a horse.
and jack tonight in the tub asked if there was electricity when i had my horse.
lol.
he also wondered if there were dirt roads then .... really dude, how old do you think i am : )
molly joined in asking if i had rubber ducks & yogurt when i was a little girl.
watermelon was a great horse. i cried the day we sold her. i don't want a horse now.
did the car get cleaned?
i'm pretty sure it did. we never drove it today & there are 3 and a half costco bags piled up in the laundry room with stuff they brought in from it.
ben conveniently missed out on the car clean out. several factors proved legit in his favor .... being asleep on the couch at 12 noon was one of them.

there is no candle burning tonight. the kitchen is not clean but the light is not on so darkness is covering the mess. rex brought me home a movie tonight - a documentary about education : ) perfect he thought since he wouldn't be here. i'm curious about it. there is also ice cream in the house, good ice cream. otter pops are not the only summer goodness in the freezer.
and a family picture to close out day three of the mid week journal.
